Rub of the green in England's favour

That badge is one of 100 made. We hate the ecb and wear it whenever we can

there is a book about Durham available on amazon called three trophies and a funeral about Durhams history

that badge is on the front cover

Stokes looks so rusty here, could do with turning this into a decent net just to get him right for the rest of the series.

What channel is this on? Can't find it on any of the channel 9 options on my TV but could in the first session.

It’s really his first bat in play for about six months

it’s starting to resemble his innings at headingley in 2019. Slow then going t20 mode
